Bitcoin London 2013 is here and we give you a full preview

With Bitcoin getting more important and famous every day, the events around the cryptocurrency keep multiplying. And tomorrow is a big day, since the awaited Bitcoin London Conference, organized by st-ART, is already here!

The one-day meeting between Bitcoin experts will happen at Level 39, One Canada Square, in Canary Wharf. The conference will start at 08:00 and end at 20:30, with some networking cocktails.

Among the guests are personalities like Stefan Thomas of Ripple, Jered Kenna of Tradehill, Nick Shalek of Ribbit Capital and Jaron Lukasiewicz from the new platform Coinsetter. They will mostly participate in debates around Bitcoin. Besides, there will be a lot of opportunities to know people from the cryptocurrency field and establish new business contacts.

According to Gulnar Hasnain, one of the Bitcoin London organisers, says that the event is expecting around 200 people coming from the United States, Canada and Eastern and Western Europe. “Most of the Bitcoin events so far have been grass roots meet-ups with a strong focus on tech and libertarian politics. We wanted to do something that was purely focused on the business and investment opportunities around Bitcoin”, she explained.

As stated by the organiser, Bitcoin London wants “to promote understanding of the digital currency space, and develop the start-up ecosystem through our events, so Bitcoin and digital currencies become the norm for the masses”. That is why the event will provide the perfect opportunity to connect digital coin entrepreneurs, angels and venture investors.

This way, this conference can be a small step into Bitcoin’s big success. At least, according to the event organiser Pamir Gelenbe, also a venture partner at Hummingbird Ventures, who believes that cryptocurrency is “the biggest invention since the internet” and will be adopted by everyone in a near future.
